The Brooklyn Circus | Some of the Best That Ever Did It

This past Project trade show I had the pleasure of moderating a little panel of brands that are on the rise, one of which was the seemingly unstoppable The Brooklyn Circus. The brand started in 2006 as a store in Brooklyn, then expanded by opening an outpost in San Francisco and ultimately it launched a collection under its own BKc mark. I first met BKc founder Ouigi (Wee-g; pictured above) in Las Vegas (of all places) back in 2008. I was impressed with the man’s style back then and it seems things have only gotten better. The Brooklyn Circus is definitely doing their thing, not only creating great clothing (nearly all in the USA I should add), they are creating a movement and I am all for it. I like what BKc is doing more than almost anyone out there right now. Ouigi and the BKc are easily some of the best that ever did it, and I hope it continues. [The Brooklyn Circus]

Man, you have some pretty obnoxious haters on this blog, even though they’re a minority. Why would you read this blog if a $125 shirt is too expensive for you? I don’t get it.

I think this looks like an incredible brand. And you must respect that beard, also…

I’ve been in the SF store a few times, and have always had a great experience. Always greeted, made to feel welcome. Great store, great people.

Farnswerth – $125 for that woven seems really reasonable to me, given it’s made domestically. How much do you think it should be?

Ouigi is great to work with. I have worked with him on a few projects. Great style and knows his stuff.

Wow! What creative minds. These are some cool cats. Ouigi, you’re a genius. The way these guys create, dress, design and live comes through each person and through their product. This is why they’re so unique they have a genuine passion for their craft in which they live and breath. Pure genius! I would love to work with these guys on a design project.

I lived a block away from this store when it first opened and always thought they were killing it. Mad respect to Ougi and the team at The Brooklyn Circus.
